  • Notes 
    • Henry Eby, "the youngest in the family of Samuel Eby, was born January 12th, 1825. On November 11th, 1845, he was married to Maria Bauman who was born March 2nd, 1824, and died April 19th, 1875. For some time they resided on the old homestead, but afterwards moved on a farm one mile north-east of Bridgeport, Ontario. Some eighteen years ago he moved to Berlin where his wife and two of his daughters died. Since the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth, to Aaron B. Shantz he has made his home with her. She resides about one and one-half miles south of Berlin. He had a family of five children"

      Eby, Ezra E. (1895). A biographical history of Waterloo township and other townships of the county: being a history of the early settlers and their descendants, mostly all of Pennsylvania Dutch origin: as also much other unpublished historical information chiefly of a local character. Berlin [Kitchener, Ont.]: [s.n.].

      _____________

      the 17th of March, 1898, in Rosedale, Waterloo Co., Ont., after an illness of many months, of paralysis, Bro. Henry Eby, in the 74th year of his age. He was the son of Samuel Eby and was born Jan. .12th, 1825. He was married to Maria Baumann, Nov. 11th, 1845. His wife died April 19th, 1875. He was afterward married to Hannah, widow of Abraham Buehler. Bro. Eby was a devoted and highly esteemed member of the Mennonite Church. He was a patient sufferer during his last long illness, and we believe he has entered the eternal rest. Of his five children two sons and one daughter survive. The remains were laid to rest on the 20th at the C. Eby M. H., Berlin, where a large concourse of relatives and friends gathered to pay the last tribute of love to the departed.
